I just finished the second full download. I got the first from Matrix at 12 hours. It didn't work. I just finished the second download from ftp.edome.net which I think is in Finland. I got the full 400Mb in 1hr. 50min. FAST!
I deleted all traces of SPWAW and tried a new install. The install failed exactly in the same place as before on the vid998.smk file. This can't be a coincidence. I downloaded the install file from two different places with no transfer errors in either download. The install failed exactly the same in both cases. The file is bad.
Afterwards I downloaded the upgrade file and reinstalled 4.5 and applied the 5.0 upgrade. It worked fine. I just wanted the full install to put on CD so I wouldn't have to keep track of both 4.5 and the 5.0 upgrade.
Good Luck everybody,

Use this link
http://www.ee.oulu.fi/~cirrus/vid998.zip to get the vid998.smk file. Maybe some day the guys can fix the Problem but till then the vid998.smk file together with the complete 5.0 Download will do it, at least I guess so.

BigDuke66 - Thanks for getting that link out to folks. I had saved a copy of my previous version and had copied over to 5.0 yesterday. Everything seems to be working fine on mine except for me blundering into a couple of ambushes
!!!! It's really a nice program & I can't wait for my Mega Campaign disk. A job well done

It can't coincidence that all downloads from matrix server fail. There has to be something wrong with it. Maybe you matrix guys could do a new exe file??
